Accessible Package Lockers for Every Resident: How Luxer One Designs with Inclusion in Mind

Accessible Package Lockers for Every Resident: How Luxer One Designs with Inclusion in Mind

ADA Day is more than a date on the calendar, it’s a powerful reminder that accessibility isn’t just about checking boxes. For property and asset managers, it’s about building communities where every resident feels empowered and included. From mobility challenges to cognitive or sensory impairments, accessibility needs vary but your package management system should meet them all.

At Luxer One, we believe that everyone deserves equal access to essential services. That’s why we’ve built accessible package lockers from the ground up, not just to meet ADA standards, but to exceed expectations.

What Makes a Package Locker ADA Compliant?

ADA compliance is more than hardware specs. It’s a commitment to design that removes barriers for everyone. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), accessibility in package systems includes:

  • Reachable compartments (between 15″ and 48″ from the ground)

  • Clear, readable instructions

  • Accessible user interfaces for those with hearing, vision, mobility, or cognitive disabilities

  • Adequate space for wheelchair access

At Luxer One, our lockers are designed to meet these requirements at every touchpoint ensuring every resident can retrieve packages independently and confidently.

How Luxer One Builds Accessible Package Lockers from the Start

Visual Impairments

Our Assistive Controller empowers residents with low or no vision. With a built-in headphone jack and tactile control button, users receive step-by-step audio instructions through their headphones. Every package pickup is clear and easy to follow.

Hearing Impairments

Every locker interface includes written prompts and visual cues to ensure residents who are deaf or hard of hearing can complete pickup without audio assistance. It’s part of our philosophy: clear, simple communication for all.

Cognitive Impairments

We’ve designed our system to be intuitive, with minimal steps and clear on-screen guidance. For residents with cognitive disabilities or processing challenges, our lockers eliminate confusion and offer a predictable, user-friendly experience.

Mobility Impairments

Our lockers are installed within ADA-compliant height ranges, with accessible compartments and a system interface at the appropriate height. Residents can also use our mobile app to set a “Locker Height Preference”, ensuring their packages are placed in accessible compartments (below 4 feet) whenever possible.

Installation with Intent

We don’t leave accessibility up to chance. Every Luxer One installation follows strict ADA layout guidance to ensure lockers and rooms are compliant with federal regulations and local building codes.

Additional Support from Luxer Liaison

For residents needing extra assistance, especially when handling oversized or heavy items, our Luxer Liaison service can step in. On-site staff can facilitate to-the-door deliveries and help bridge any gaps, adding a personal layer of accessibility support.

Accessible, ADA Compliant Package Lockers That Are Future-Ready

Inclusive design isn’t just a legal responsibility, it’s a competitive advantage. Communities that prioritize accessibility see stronger resident satisfaction, higher retention, and fewer complaints.

As accessibility expectations evolve, Luxer One is ready. Our technology and support services help properties stay ahead of regulations while serving a broader, more diverse resident base.
